One man is dead after he was shot by at least one detective on the east side of Tucson. There were two detectives driving in the area of Beverly Avenue and Speedway Boulevard when they saw the man driving recklessly in the area around 7:41 p.m. Thursday, according to Raul Garcia, a Public Information Officer with the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS). The car quickly veered away, hit a fence, and the tires continued to rotate and started a small fire, Garcia said. Tucson firefighters responded to the scene to help put out the small flames.
